Ah, yes, I see, Mr. Ranfft says:
380: 16.75''', 17 jewels
381: 16.75''', 15 jewels
385: 17.5''', 17 jewels
386: 17.5''', 15 jewels
He also mentions that caliber 380/81 were introduced 1939, whereas the 385/86 are mentioned with a 1946 introduction date which would fit the observations. May be the only modification was a wider base plate?
And may be, they coexisted for a while?
